A very poor maiden with nothing arriving in form including Macs Charm, who followed a decent run at Down Royal with a poor effort at Leopardstown. Direct Fire has been beaten a long way in all three starts over timber after landing a point-to-point while Fort William probably needs a stiffer test of stamina. The latter is one of four from his stable and is likely to prove best of them but a tentative vote goes to QUARRY GIRL, who has been coming up against smart winners without being disgraced.
